Title: Welcome to 1984.

Quote"Shoreditch TV is an experiment TV channel beaming live footage from the street into peoples homes. According to the Telegraph U.K. television will broadcast from 400 surveillance cameras on the streets, into peoples homes. For now they are only showing it to 22,000 homes, but next year they plan on going national with the show. They fly under the flag fighting crime from the sofa."

I can hear the baby monitor across the road (Assume its them as the voices sound like the husband and wife) sometimes on my cordless headphones.

Not totally crystal clear, but faintly and hissing.

We could hear about 3 others with our baby monitors when we lived at the old house (Teraced housing). One of them enjoyed alot of sex and she was well noisey, he must have been good :D. but the other two were quite boring and quiet.

I used to have a cheap set of computer speakers which would occasionally and for no obvious reason start picking up radio signals. I had a 4 point setup at that time with one speaker in each corner of my room, resulting in very long cables which presumably acted as aerials.
